Adventure Pass Changes in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass program will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Come play in the sand at South Side! We'll turn our kiddie pool into a sandbox, with all the right sand toys to make an awesome sand castle or any other creation you can imagine! And what's sand without a little water? We'll bust out our water table, too, for some extra fun! Bring clothes you don't mind having a little messy fun in!
